Commentary by Donald DeMarco The Interim
Rhetoric is simply the art of persuasion. As Socrates discovered, however, to his great dismay, not all rhetoric is accompanied by knowledge.

Giuseppe Gori Special to The Interim
The homosexual “marriage” issue has fortunately awakened many sleeping Christians. Many, however, do not realize that homosexuals are pawns being used for political purposes in a culture war. The international socialist movement is using homosexuals as an excuse to further a socialist, anti-religious agenda. What better way to muzzle Christians than to pass “hate” legislation limiting churches’ freedom of ... (Continue reading)

Editorials | Author:
For 13 years, Canadians in general, but especially pro-life and pro-family citizens, criticized the heavy-handedness of Liberal prime ministers Jean Chretien and Paul Martin, who attempted to foist upon their party and the nation an ideologically rigid and radical approach to abortion and marriage. There was reason to believe things would be different when the Conservatives won power on Jan. 23, 2006. But while there have been many positive developments, on two key ... (Continue reading)

Paul E. Nielsen This is a journey of the Battleship Life. Our four day mission is to venture amid the illustrious whitewashed – to enter the Great Hall in search of the “elusive” truth.
June 10, 1993
Leaving Lotusland in the still of the morning, we prepared to meet the uncertainties ahead. Upon arriving at destination Ottawa, the great change in temperature was immediately apparent. Obviously, the excessive clothing of the cool West must be discarded.

Charles Muggeridge Whatever happened to Joe Borowski? It’s one of the most common questions pro-lifers ask of the man who almost single-handedly took on the Canadian system in a monumental battle for the unborn.
From being on the leading edge of the pro-life battle for almost two decades, Borowski seems to many to have fallen off the face of the earth.
“I’m not dead,” he assures the Interim from his health food store in Winnipeg. “Right now we’re just treading water.”
Treading water for Joe ... (Continue reading)
